A good number of you may recall the “hashtag tree” that we designed for last year’s social media issue, in which we outlined the entire Twitter ecosystem of the Greater Boston area, from sports, to media, to restaurants and politics. No doubt some loyal Dig readers still have the insert tacked to the wall over their desk as a handy crib sheet. We didn’t go at it alone though; for the hashtag project, we tapped our good friends at Pandemic Labs, one of the Hub’s first and most sophisticated social media marketing agencies.

On the success and strength of that endeavor, we asked Pandemic to team up with us again—this time to bring an enhanced Twitter analysis to our annual DigThis Awards. Part of the Pandemic motto is that “marketing is a dialogue not a monologue,” and on that tip we have challenged them to gauge which of our Arts & Entertainment winners—concert venues, movie theaters, museums, you get the picture—did the best job of engaging fans over the past year. Of course it’s not that simple, analytics never are, which is why they mixed their science with a good old “qualitative approach.” As for their formula; we could tell ya, but you know how the rest of that one goes …
